We, on. behalf of :our clients, John and Andrea Bare[la, are farmalIy requesting an agreement with the District under Public Resources.

' The 200 +/-.acre conservation easement on the quarry site would allow, in addition to any existing ' uses, quarrying;. stockpiFing and related. activities on approximately 70 acres as'described in the project description for the proposed.quarry but would otherwise preserve: the property for open space, endangered ~~: -, species preservation and. agricultural purposes only.

BODY: Page 1 of 2 ~~ ' LexisNexis e previous Next . Sept. 16--A long-proposed rock quarry west of Petaluma cleared its first big. hurdle Thursday, earning final approval from the Sonoma County Planning Commission and a hearing before the Board'of Supervisors, tentatively set for Oct. 19. The quarry,+.slated for 65 acres off Robta_ r Road'and in fhe works since 2003, has raised strong opposition from neighbors and envirohmental groups concerned abouE potential groundwater and air pollution. ' Supporters, however, say the quarry will be environmentally safe and will provide both jobs ahd a local source of construction-grade rock for the area. On Thursday commissioners said the quarry's .benefits outweighed its impacts, which they said would be mitigated. If I thought for one minute, for one second, that this was an environmentally unsafe project I wouldn't support it," commissioner Don Bennett said before voting with fellow„commissioners, 5-0, to support. the project. The decisioh came in the project's. fifth. hearing before the commission in the past two years. Commissioners.. had previously voted 5-0 in April. to approve the quarry's environmental impact .report and send it on tathe Board of Supervisors. But4a.lafe discovery of endan,gered'California tiger salamander larvae on the project site ahd the state's imposition' of hew ;greenhouse gas limits required another pair of hearings -- including Thursday's meeting -- to incorporate those issues:. Oppdnents used fhe meeting to; ht'on their long-running concerns about the quarry's. location.. The proposed quarry sits next:to a former landfill used in the 1950s, and later in the 19jOs to dump building waste from the 1969 earthquake that .rocked Santa Rosa... Neighbors and envronmehtal groups fear the .dump contains toxic materials such as lead and asbestos and that digging and blasting to extract:gravel could. stir toxins into the air and leech. them into groundwater. Two previous quarry proposals by other applicants on the Roblar Road property were shelved in the late 1980s and early 1990s after they, too, ran into opposition bn those grounds,. Sue Buxton, president of Citizens Against Roblar Road,Quarry, the main opposition group, said those issues and others were not adequately addressed in the project's environmental Yeview. But quarry owner John Barella, who sold- his Petaluma-based company North Bay Construction to rival contractor Ghilloti ~. 11ttp://www6.lexisnexis.com/publisher/EndUser?orgId 2154&bgrpId=&Aetion=UserDispl... 9/20/2010 ,, i Water `Pollution -California ~ Page:? of 2' Construction Co. of Santa Rosa in June, again said that the quarry will not be a polluter. In addrtiori to planned 'water and air-quality safeguards, Barella will,pay up to $80;000 peracre to Yeplace salamander„habitat damaged' by mining operations; .plus put:'up fencing around_ the guari•y, site~to ward'off'the;amphibians and hirean on-site biologist Burin"g each phase of the work, county staff said. He would also-have to use alternative, low=carbon,~fiiels for equipment and: pay to offset the nearly 6;000 met~f¢ toris of greenhouse• gases -- almost six: times the legal cap -- the prdject is expected to produce, each year.; We're trying to do everything right;" Barella said after the meeting. "We want`to br: a great neighbor." If apprdVed by supervisors; the,quarry would,employ about 10, workers and support hundreds of trucking fobs: dt'S expecte_ d to. produce about-11 million cubic yards of high-;grade rock worth about $60 millidn, owe`r its 20'-year permit period'. The project follows a lfi-year-old courity plan to shift more ro°ck mining .operations from the Russian'River to upland quarries, which generally present fewer environmental problems. But it could hit a Stumbling block before, supervisors: the cUrrenf;:preferred tcuckn,g route from tt5e'quarry would use ,four acres of adjacent property already protected as: open space by county taxpayer dollars. Barella has offered to donate as open Space his entire 198-acre property; includini3 eventually the "quarry; in exchange-for use of-the road alignment, which is preferred to a mdie costly retrofit of'Rdblar Road. The exchange would amountao Ehe first pr'iv.ate; commercial use; ,aside from a wefland mitigation ..bank, of publicly protected open space in the county,.eounty open space district officials said.. It"would require unanimous support:by supervisors; the' project itself requires only a majority vote by the five=member board. Opponents Thursday called [he Yoad plan:"outrageous" and "a dangerpus precedent." Barella responded; saying "if (supervisors) ask me to go down. Roblar Road, I'll go.dow;ri Rd61ar Road.
